I am back for another post, I have 3 other posts on the way :-)Today I'm going to talk about things that make girls insecure these days; mainly it's social media, but sadly it's things that happen in everyday life too.

Currently listening to.. *hits the folks and acts goofy*

If there are any grammar or spelling mistakes, sorry about that

I've come to realisation that there's a lot of insecurities and problems with us young people these days. There's girls making raps about their ex boyfriends, talking about how boys talk to them like they're two feet small. 1 | InstagramAs much as I love Instagram, it can REALLY EFFECT a person's confidence. Not getting enough likes on an Instagram post, boys not 'sliding into your DMs', cyberbullying, not winning in a fight and it being leaked all over 'the gram', being 'exposed on the gram'. Why is there so much mess on social media these days? And why is it fair? Why can't a beautiful black woman with a healthy slaying afro be praised on Instagram yet to be knocked down because she's 'black as fuck'Disgusting people make social media a dangerous place, and it's shocking.

2 | YouTube Reactions

I mean this doesn't make me insecure, and I don't have much of a problem with this guy and other guys who react to musical.lys like this but there's boys on youtube who technically just get 'horny' on camera and call it a 'reaction'. To be honest, can we calm with this stupid-ness?

"She's cute and that's the only thing that matters"

"SHE'S THICK!!"

"She's average"

"She alright"

(These are things that he's said on his youtube videos)

This can have a slight effect on someone sensitive who maybe currently doesn't feel that confident or comfortable with her own body. This could give out an impression that we should all just sexualise or alter ourselves to be noticed! I quit musical.ly, it makes my eyes hurt. Not going to lie..It's a cool app and I'll definitely go back on it one day. But at the end of the day, that's not right.

3 | it's flippin youtube again..Interviews

Ok so I don't know when this started, but it happened. There's YouTubers who basically just go around asking people whether they like 'black girls or white girls' or 'black boys or white boys'. This can make someone insecure because some of these teen boys actually say some really immature and offensive things in their interviews, same with the girls too. Don't shame a race of people and get brave and gassed because someone interviewed you. But in fact, everyone gets 'gassed' when talking about their preference.

"Black boys. Big dick"

shut. up. Bruh.

"WHITE GIRL, FLAT BUM LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING FAM"

have you said that to a white girls face?

Again, I don't have that much of a problem with these videos and they definitely have an advantage because you get to see 'wassup'. But everything comes with an advantage and disadvantage.

4 | Some of this music tho...SHUT. UP AND GO TO BED WITH YOUR TRASH (I'm laughing as I'm writing this)

Sorry, but I feel like I speak the truth. I don't know if it's just our generation, but some people honestly act like badly influenced 5 year olds."Now I'm f****n on yo bitch""Gettin money"JUST. SHUT. UP and go to bed like I told you too before. You're speaking a bunch of saliva. I apoligise for the swearing, I'm just imitating.I enjoy all types of music, but some is honestly trash. If you sound like an IDIOT, I'm not going to listen to it. This music is influencing some of these boys and it's such a shame. Rappers are giving off the impression that acting dumb, having money, fame and a 'bitch' is the 'good life'.

That was part 1, hopefully I can start writing a part 2. In this post I was basically just listing things that could possibly make someone insecure. None of this effects me but it is important to write things like this on my blog. See you soon!

Hey guys!!!!!It's Rukiya here A little bit of an updateI haven't posted since the 8th of May...Just over 2 months. For some reason I think of blogging all the time, but never actually get to it. But what I can say for sure is that the Instagram app has distracted me.

But, see I haven't just been on Instagram, over these 2 months I've gotten more and more into drawing, eyebrows...eyes..face. I just LOVE drawing people or making up my own. I'll be sure to make a post about this all, but for now my goal is to continue to make a lot more pieces of artwork and find the right time to do so.Might as well share when I have something 'poppin' to share...You know?

Science. Science.

oh..It's science...I need to work on science LMAO..HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID THAT NOW ? *gets back into depressing mode..Slouches back..Oops..I heard a crack. Rolls eyes and continues the post* ( I made this all up babes ) Some things I understand and I find interesting ; DNA and The Menstrual Cycle. Ionic bonding clicks to me too.I need to learn to concentrate and try my hardest even if not feeling that comfortable in a classroom. I'm trying to work on revision for science.My GCSE options are in! For anyone who doesn't live in the UK, GCSE'S are basically the huge deal in secondary school (11 year olds to 16 year olds). They are BIG tests which basically have a HUGE impact on our future; CV, job etc. I'm currently in Year 9 (13 to 14 year olds), next year I will be doing my mock exams (not that actual exams, but important important preparation for the BIG TESTS I told you about). I will be taking Art -All I have to do is make an effort and actually do exactly what I was told to make. That's difficult for me... basically I'm an idiotGeography - I'm looking forward to taking Geography, as long as I focus, everything will be fineMedia - Social media, the film industry, the magazine industry..Kinda things like that. Definitely looking forward to it!Dance - I LOVE DANCING. I have to start showing off and being more brave in what I do, how they gonna know you have talent if you don't show it? Next year (Year 10) I'm planning to be a lot more confident and if you keep saying it will happen then it would :-) Sociology - Crime, Injustice..A lot of things that interest me. I'm more than excited for this!Wish me luck on my GCSE'S, When are you starting yours? Do you enjoy Science?

Hi, back for another post. I've decided I'm going to try the #7DaysOfWILL project that Lexie who blogs atWhat Lexie Loves came up with us bloggers to do. I'm definitely determined to try it out, so take a look at it if you haven't already!7DaysOfWILL is a project in which you post 7 times in a row, the project starts on the 8th of May..Which is today. #1 i'm a memeI've been told by several people I'm a meme. My facial expressions make people laugh, idk.

#2 i love to imitate bitches in moviesIdk. It's just their personalities that crack me up. I mean have you watched this scene in the Bratz movie? This girl is damn insane...Talking about how fabulous she is and how superior she is. "It's me...On an elephant. Ugh! It's me time now.."

#3 I EAT LEMONSI see lemon. Mi eat it. Is sour, but who flippin cares??

#4 i love acting crazyEvery once in a while you've got to shake it off and do your weird chicken/twerking thing right? You know..Break your back a few times? I'm just immature. No offence to Raven because that's not what she's doing. WORK IT GURL

#5 i'm scared of flies..In fact every insect tbh

When I see a fly you're gonna get pissed at me, because I have a panic attack and can't help myself but look for it. After it's reportedly 'gone' I still rub my skin and look around.

Ugh, I love blogging..It's just stressful that my ideas have flown out the window.

Today I'll be giving a mini review of the book I'm currently reading. What a surprise. I'm actually reading a book and I don't think I've properly read and finished a book in about a year or probably longer.

What drives me to read a book

It's mainly what it's about. If it really interests me, it interests me. I added in the 'really' because unless a book 'really' interests me, I might not read it as fast.

My mum actually bought 2 books for both of us. I guess Regina George is gonna put me in her burn book now?

Rukiya $____ like reads a book and her mom reads them too. And she's like a total slut as well.

Apparently the book is quite popular right now. So far I'm on chapter 7 and I'm l-o-v-i-n-g it.

What it's about...Or everything up to chapter 7.

A 16 year old black teenager named Starr lives in the ghetto. She travels to a school in the suburbs, and won't let anyone think she has anything to do with the hood. At home it's Starr or 'Munch', but at school it's Starr Williamson. Williamson being the school name. Starr has witnessed a gruesome thing in the past when her neighbourhood friend got shot at quite a young age, the reason? Nothing. Skipping on from the past, she finds herself at a party in her area (Garden Heights) with her neighbourhood-sorta-friend Kenya who bashes her for going to a 'white school'. Meanwhile at the party, Kenya is urging to to fight a girl, getting annoyed at the fact she's looking at her but will still look at her because she wants to fight her. Kenya ends up leaving Starr, and Starr ends up reuniting with an 'old best friend neighbourhood friend'. If that makes any sense. They talk, but before you know it there's a shooting and everyone is running. Trying to find some sort of transport, assisting their danger.

Starr and her old friend manage to escape into his car. Lets just say. Police harrassment. Police brutality. Racism.

And before you know what Khalil sinks to the floor, his body being nothing more than a corpse. Blood flowing everywhere, like nothing more than another dead young black man.

That's all I will give away for now *gets back to reading*

It's like oh, this is my um... my Job? I have to serve and protect the people so I have to do my damn job. So..Oh no..I'm scared. He's like moved when I told him not to move. So..This is my job so um..I'll pull the trigger? Ok I'm pulling the trigger..I'm pulling the trigger. Oh I'll pull it again coz it's my job. And again. And one more time coz I'm scared and I need my teddy. Oh no he's dead..Oh. He's black anyway...I won't get in trouble.

Don't you ever feel like you can tell how someone's like just by looking in their eyes? Even sometimes what they've been through...It's like you can look in someones eyes and see everything.I don't know wether I'm speaking a bunch of nonsense or if what I'm saying might make sense to certain people. So many people are afraid of being judged, they're afraid that if they say something or do something people will look at them a certain way as if they're odd. People are afraid of that judgemental look or that ignorant giggle or whisper..And being someone who analyses people's personalities I've come to a conclusion that people are the way they are always for a reason.Some people have a 'RBF syndrome', this means that their natural face (with no expression) looks angry or annoyed. So imagine if you'd had this your whole life, what are you going to act like? Are you going to be happy and outgoing and get judged..Or are you going to be the personality your face suits you to be?irdk bye.

THE RULESMention the person who nominated you + link their blog/siteInclude a bit about the person who created this award + link to their siteShare 3 people who inspire you to blogAnswer your challenge questionNominate bloggers and give them a cool challenge question

1) Myself - If I'm honest, there's only one person who inspires me to blog and that's me. I find it amazing to have your own little space on the internet to do whatever you want and show your creativity. Without being inspired by myself, how could I do anything?

Challenge Question by Rithvika

What is the most admirable/beautiful thing about the Human Race as a whole?

I think the most admirable/beautiful thing about the human race as a whole is it's diversity. The different races and cultures is what makes this world..This world. The skin tones to the hair textures to the features to the personalities..The list goes on. That's what makes the human race special.

So over the half term a few weeks ago (I live in the UK, a half-term is a 1 week break) I went to see an amazing theatre play called 'The Bubbly black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin'.

Summary

The play started off as a young bubbly black girl who was extremely optimistic. She was brought up in the 60s, un-aware of the racism at that time. The 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing in 1963 worried her as a child. She dreamed to be a dancer, and it basically shows her growing up and the struggles she faced. As she grows up she starts to realise that she's been living in a 'bubble', floating over trouble. For instance, ignoring how her black boyfriend was treated by the police. It was funny to watch her grow up and watch her handle different situations.

The fashion to the sets to the acting to the music..It was all amazing. This play was entertaining, exciting and most importantly one of the best plays you'll ever see!

I think the message of this play was to be yourself, but don't run-away from what you are

- The things that made this musical special was -

- The set and how it was arranged

- The fun songs (not too catchy but in a good way)

- The humour

- How a change was always happening

- The fashion

And yeah..Maybe there's more to the list but overall I really, really loved this play and if I could see it again I would.

Here are some videos to wrap up the post

Have a nice day. Evening. Lunch. Dinner. Breakfast. Wherever you are in the world, bye!

WELCOME!
